The Penguins of Madagascar. It's the televisheni onyesha under which we are bannered as one, and it is slowly becoming a memory. Even with those few episodes left to air, the Final Season is pretty much over. So where does that leave us?

I've been a part of this club since April of 2010. For an entire mwaka I was on forums, chatting and laughing with the rest of you. I gradually grew out of it, and found myself visiting this site less and less, to the point where it had been months since I had been here.

Last night, my brothers took out an official Penguins DVD I had bought years ago. As I laughed with them during the episode "It's About Time", I remembered all the good times I had had here. The art, the craziness, the absolute insanity of the fans, but most of all, the joy.

I decided to check back in on this club, and wewe know what I found?

That same joy that had been there three years zamani is still here today. Sure, most of wewe are new faces. Most of the people I knew are long gone. But the fact remains that wewe enjoy this show, and wewe aren't afraid to be here to celebrate it. Some of wewe come from difficult situations, and this is your moment of relaxation and stability during troubled storms. Others of wewe are zaidi fortunate and come here as mere recreation. Some of wewe ship characters, such as Skilene and Dorski. Others of wewe just like chatting about episodes and going-ons at nickelodeon.

In the end, we are all here for the Penguins. The onyesha that brought us together and left us wanting zaidi of them every saturday morning. The onyesha that gave some of us a reason to be sociable to others that we didn't even know, complete strangers with one common interest.

I look back on my times in the fandom one last time, wondering where those experiences had gone, and I realize that they never left. I can still feel the passion of this club. Your joy and your togetherness are what truly separates wewe from other fandoms.

I will admit, I've found other stuff much zaidi interesting than the Penguins of Madagascar during the three years I've been gone. I've graduated, obtained my Eagle Scout Award, and even went to Haiti twice. But fanpop is one of my roots, and I will always come back home.

To you, the mashabiki of The Penguins of Madagascar.

Stay true. Stay zoo.
